I took up my life with a strange eyed boy
And he got what I need, what I need
And it's something peculiar
He ain't nothing like I was brought up to want
But I want him for me, just for me
And sometimes life'll fool you
Sometimes cruel, yeah but hallelujah for me

The boy with the green eyes
Well I've got the time, time, time
For anything he'd like
You know that it's true
And I've never seen eyes
That burn into mine, mine, mine
The boy with the green eyes
You know he gets through

I walk down the street that I walked down before
But it don't look the same, not the same
And I know the reason
I picked up my head and I saw him one day
And the world turned around, upside down
You know he's turning me on
Young girl neon, look what he's gone and done

The boy with the green eyes
Well I've got the time, time, time
For anything he'd like
You know that it's true
And I've never seen eyes
That burn into mine, mine, mine
The boy with the green eyes
You know he gets through, yeah
